F. C. Wilaon , Republican Candidate for
the Legialature. Hia POlition
on the luuel ! '
Anselmo , Nebraska.
September 19 , 1906.
As already announced in the
daily papers the Hepresentat ive ,
Convention of this district , held I
in Brolten Bow the 15th inst ,
paid me the honor of nomination
for the legislature to be elected
this fall. I deem it expected
that I publicly express my
position on the que ! ions interesting -
ing the voters , and especiallvon
the imperative requirements.the
people , almost regardless of party , '
are insisting hall be the duty :
of the next legislature.
'l'he "burning issue" in Nebraska -
braska is whether the corpor-
ations-especially the railyway
companies-shall longer be permitted -
mitted to dominate the policy of
the state. I have to say that my
voice , my in/luence / and my vote
, will in no rase be "weighed in
the balance and foumI want1l1g. "
I shall surely favor such elective
rail way commission as shall be
promptly empowered to regulate
rate5 and prevent discrimination
beyond tccnicalitics of court
ruhngs to circumvent.
'rhc taxation of railroad pro.
perty as in the public mind shall
bey nd question of doubt find my
vote permitting only the same requirements -
quirements as of the humblcst
citizcns. 'l'hey pople : want rate
control. 'l'he want rate re-
duction. 'l'hey want the rai1roa Is
to pay their taxes as the farmer
must nay his. 1\1y position on
HAcn f thesc requirements will
be an emphatic yItA vote ever ) '
time.
I favor a demand for a 2c
passenger rate. ' ! 'his would not
- only benefit every citir.en but
largely talc care of the free pass
question. 'l'he prohibition of
. the pass evil must be accom.
plished , and litte rebate in the
freight question shall be , lis.
_ continued 1f my vote can heIr
matte this need of the times prove
I no illusion.
I deem it also pertinent to re'
fer to m ) ' position on the Grab

testif.r that they have always
found a ! lJuare deal in husiness
with mc. If J 111t eJccted it will
be so apparcnt that cvcn "he
who runs m11st rcad" my opposing
voice and vote to an ) ' trust or
corporate etTort discouraging
agricultural In terests. 'l'he farm
is the basis , the foundation and
very structure which fceds and
nourishes and rears nearl v cverj'
other industrial business on
earth. 'l'he farm interests is the
one interest every man's vote
should help prosper. Mine can
.be trusted to do good in the
wished for direction.
A final word on the 'l'cmper-
ance idea as announced by the
Christian State convcntion at
Bethanj' , August 4th. I quote I
I as follows : "We , the delegates
of thc Christian State convention
assembled as a committee of the
whole , alarmed at the danger of
the aggressive work of the Hlluor
: t- * *
interests enter our
protest against the nOll1ination
and clection of any man who
champions the caus of the liquor
trafic. " T-iet me say that I believe -
lieve my statement will go unquestioned -
questioned that I believe in
temperance in all things , in
hating meanness , and oppression
everywhere ; in doing good worl < s
thus serving the Lord. "A tree
is known by its fruit. " 'fhe
Christian State convention
adoptctl a county option resolu-
tion. I am in favor of the reso.
lution. I would not \'ote to in
anj' wise annul the Slocum law
by. repeal or ch ng"e. When my
vOice or vote wIll help the greatness -
ness of the temperance cause in
any legislation I am party to ,
the resolutions of the Christian
convention will find my efforts
helpir.g maintain its spirit , its
essence and its direction.

Why the Oatrich Failed.
It was a disappointement to all
who came to the fair to find the
ostrich was not here and that
there would not be an exhibition
of its racing proclivities , but the
disappointment of the fair
association officers were still
gr ater , because they had contracted -
tracted for it and assured the
people it would surely race.
'l'he bird and its owner and driver ,
Mr. Ford , met with an accident ,
however , and could not make .
good on the contract as the
following telegram will explain :

Not Guilty.
' ! 'he jury in the case of the
state againt Harvey Dennis
brought in a verdict of not
guilty. This was a case in
I which the younger of the two
Dennis boys ' \vas charged with
the killing of Morrison in Wayne
township last spring. 'l'he father -
er and two sons were each
charged with the crllne. The
state went on the theory that
the younger boy did the killing
and the father and older son were
accessories , hence the younger
boy was tried first. .
The older boy swore that he.
fired the fatal shot. 'rhe father
and older son will , in all probability -
bility , l ave their trial at some
future time.
